Affordable Housing: Identifying Community Interests & Priorities
Welcome to the City of Mill Valley's Survey on Affordable Housing Programs
Thank you for participating in our survey. Your feedback is important to us!
Affordable housing has been an on-going discussion item for the Mill Valley City Council due to community concerns about housing costs that continue to outpace household incomes. We are also interested in balancing the City's two General Plan goals of maintaining our unique small town character while also encouraging the continued diversity of housing and income levels in the City.
Listed below and further illustrated are a few recent statistics related to housing in Mill Valley and the impact to the City's local workforce.
